How long did it take for your periods to settle down after breastfeeding?

Mine came back after about 2 weeks with DS1&2, but they were down to 2 feeds a day.DS3 8mo still bfs lots!! So no period yet...but DH noticed my tummy was very rounded the other day, and is getting more so. Eeeeek!!!!FYI, I never get a positive until over 5 weeks, so too early to tell. And get a bump nearly straight away. Oooooo, the waiting!

Ages - nearly a year after stopping before a normal pattern emerged and stopped BFing at 7.5 months. I had periods every 2 weeks for a bit, skipped one or two and was generally all over the place. Was TTC so doubly difficult as couldn't predict ovulation at all. Not fun.

Hi, I'm loving not having a period!! Another reason to keep feeding!! Last time round, mine came back about a month after my DD went onto solids. Even if you're still feeding, if you're not feeding exclusively, or most of the time at least, your period will come back. And don't forget you could be fertile before it actually comes back. This is good info, I think http://www.breastfeeding-magazine.com/menstruation-and-breastfeeding.html

Mine returned after DS was about 6 months (was still feeding but had done no night feeds since he was 12 weeks) but they were very irregular & the first few were really far apart. I fell pregnant when DS was just under a year old (we were TTC) & I didn't stop feeding until he was 1. Hope yours settle down soon!
